my firsth thought was "why so square and ugly??"

but after that, my heart melts looking at the white version. and more review videos coming in. Love the unique transparent part. I've been waiting for Sony to come up with new models, I guess this will be it. But judging from the price (since sony stuffs are pricey), I gotta start saving now. biggrin.gif

if it's less than 2k, then I'm pretty sure I'm getting it without thinking twice. But if 2k plus, then I'll have to consider. But most probably, I'll just wait for few months for the price to drop xDD

I read in the official SE page and noticed this line in the TechSpecs for the Xperia S:
Original link here

Wondering if it is a typo.

Sample pics has been released by Soyacincau:

I must say that I'm disappointed with the quality... hopefully its just the test firmware and the official firmware would be much much better..

Also, anyone noes if this uses AMOLED or SLCD?

Geez, I hope the finished version will be better because I consider this phone for its camera quality. that's why I've always been into Sony phones.

cool i ll get a vita when theres downloadable games tongue.gif

not worth it atm imo. the game prices are very unattractive. at least for me. pricing them same as ps3 games really turns me off

buying originals for ps3 is worth it. originals for vita is no no unless the price is like half of ps3's .

anyway if im buying xperia s. im getting the sexy black 1!

Yea, same, was turned off by the game price too! That said, I'll get the xperia s first, but I'm getting the white hehe...i have a thing for white, my current se phone is white too. But I'll wait for it to be officially launched here first, read more reviews and see if it's worth it. Gotta be more careful with my $ now that I have new responsibilities.

Let's hope Xperia S is worth it and can surpass its predecessor.

Probably because Xperia S (previously known as Xperia Nozomi) has been in production test long before Sony acquire SE. So, some old units will have SE logo.
OT: The game price is due to Japan currency rate at the moment. Once they released in US this Feb, price will go down. But, Vita games can't really compare to other portable games, coz like Uncharted for Vita, is really like a full-fledged console game, and for the price it is worth the experience. Even the game play duration is longer than PS3 Uncharted 3.  blush.gif

If the price goes down for the games, I might consider getting it xD Actually, it'll be my first console LOL...was contemplating whether to get a PSP half a year ago, but then I ended up buying a new laptop which I used to play games now, so the idea flew out the window. But now it's itching back with the release of vita. This is kinda off topic but it's still sony related haha.

About the name, I'd rather it be just Sony. hehe but maybe it's just me.

One question: I've not owned any Xperia before, so just wanna ask this because this is what my sis told me. She said "Xperia phones very hard to upgrade and after upgrading, the phones sometimes got some problem." Is this true? She's been against my decision to get Sony Xperia since day one...and I'm still very much a loyal Sony fan.

@exkaizen - I think she doesn't know the exact prob herself, just heard from friends, who've been promoting samsung.
@Ninja - that's good to hear.

The only issue they don't fixed yet is the picture size compression  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

@Ninja... damn... tempting... T.T
- PS Vita (wait for more games)
- Tablet S (devided with Xperia S)
- Xperia S (M'sia release so close with Tablet S)
- Nex-5D (have to make this main priority... since haven't replace my camera after being stolen... T.T)

a lot of ppl promoting samsung... and there's too many ppl in samsung community.... not special enuf...

Yeah, everywhere I go, i see samsung phones. and iphones. sighhh...that's why with this new release of xperia s, there'll only be Sony on the phone, which makes it more special/different, imo.

The price seems good! Within my budget. thumbup.gif
But I want white, which I think will be tough to get as always.

what?? more models??? Sh*t ... how to decide now ...

I having the same headache! I want bigger screens, so normally the best for me is Xperia S, but the P has aluminium body which looks much nicer imo. Xperia U looks kinda cute with the colour changes below (though weird). lol

I'll wait till the official price is out and decide from there, I'm on a saving regime. wink.gif
